The Winter Holidays hold a special importance to individuals from a sensory perspective and, most importantly, from a familiar and community perspective. Many CRi homes don’t have the resources to purchase decorations for holidays. For those home that do have decorations, staff are pulled in so many directions that they don’t have time to put up much more than a tree.

This is where YOU come in. Volunteers are needed to bring the holiday cheer help to residents and staff by providing decorations and hanging them up around the homes. Decorations can be homemade or purchased, but regardless of what you choose to do, you are making a world of difference for residents and staff.

Residents LOVE commercial Christmas so Santa Clause, Frosty the Snowman, Ruloph the Rednose Reindeer, Christmas trees, candy canes, stockings, and Christmas lights are okay. ESPECIALLY lights. We LOVE lights. We just ask that decorations are no specific to any religious celebration to respect the individual believes of the residents.

Volunteer to brighten up a CRi home this holiday season!
